Choosing homebirth after abortion and misscarriage, anxiety, having a PPH & secondary PPH and bicornuate uterus and why homebirth is amazing || Sam's birth of Archie at home (New South Wales)

Birthing at Home: A Podcast

Hello! I would love to hear what your fave part of the ep was. Send me a msg by clicking here :)

Epsiode 52 is shared by Sam from NSW who tells her huge vulnerable, honest, and beautiful story of how her homebirth baby boy, Archie came to be.
Sam’s story starts in her 20’s where, alike many women, she chose to have an abortion, partly influenced by her birth imprint. Some years later, when the timing was better, she was excited to become pregnant, then experienced a miscarriage.
These events had significant influence on her journey and experience in being pregnant with her now 16 month old, baby Archie. She also shares her experience with a post partum haemorrhage after her homebirth, and then 2 weeks later, a secondary post partum haemorrhage which required surgery. Whilst this is a longer episode, it is a great story that includes many different topics and experiences.
